I still don’t know WHAT Panasonic will announce but I am 100% sure now about that:

• Major announcement event on October 8th
• Multiple(!) products will be announced

I have no clue yet if there will be new MFT gear too (I heard for sure some L-mount stuff). My dream would be to get a new compact GM/GF model…but it’s just a dream for now!

Drop me a message using this contact box if you can share more info about the gear that will be announced!

I’ll tell you up front: I think there’s a 0.0001% chance that Fujifilm will use a Four Thirds sensor. Still, I think it’s worth speculating because I’m 100% certain that Fujifilm will launch a new camera with a sensor size other than APS-C or medium format for the first time in many years (Source: Fujirumors).

Rationally, you’d bet on them going full-frame, but Fujifilm has stated so many times in the past that they’re not going full-frame that this would be a pretty big surprise. This leaves us with some other fancy options like 1 inch sensor (or smaller) or even Four Thirds sensor. Fujifilm is NOT part of the MFT alliance, and the only way I can think of is to use a Four Thirds sensor in a compact fixed lens camera. This would allow them to develop a variant of their popular X100VI with a zoom lens and at an affordable price.

But I know that’s a dream and that Fujifilm is more likely to surprise us with something completely different. What is your best guess about their new product?

On image the current E-M1X

I read a rumor that I am sure it is BS:

There is some wild speculation about a new E-M1X successor. Possible time frame for the release is late 2024 / early 2025.

Sorry guys, I really don’t think OM digital will revive the E-M1X line. I don’t think there’s a market for it… don’t you agree?

Had a chat with a couple of “Sources” and they claim they have heard zero about a possible PEN-F successor and don’t think it’s coming any time soon…if ever!

If true..this is a big missed opportunity for OM Digital don’t you think?
